Sustainable Intensification of Rainfed Lands through Food-Fodder based
Systems for Climatic Resilience and Fodder Security in Semi-Arid Regions
of India

Globally in rainfed lands, livestock is considered important part of agriculture diversification,
income enhancement, and crucial for nutrition enhancement. However, the productivity of the
animals is low due to improper nutrition, health care and management in almost all the
developing nations. The availability of quality feed and fodder is one of the main reasons for
poor performance of livestock. The present availability of feeds in India is estimated to be
only 40% of the total requirement of these animals. As per IGFRI Vision 2050 document, in
India, at the current level of growth in forage resources, there will be 18.4 % deficit in green
fodder and 13.2% deficit in dry fodder in the year 2050. However, in the current decade, food
security is being pursued at policy and intervention level through appropriate mechanism.
But, feed and fodder security to huge livestock still is questionable in wake of changing
climate. IPCC 2022 has highlighted the climate change impacts, risks and vulnerabilities, and
adaptation options. In the present scenario, the sustainable intensification is the approaches to
be pursued through mixed farming in the form of the crop-livestock, crop-forestry, crophorticulture
fish-pig, fish-duck, and paddy-fish etc. In developing countries, mixed farming
system is helpful in decreasing the cost of production per unit area, increasing income and
productivity and reduce the risk of farmers. The research conducted at ICAR-IGFRI, Jhansi,
India has highlighted that in arable lands opportunities lies for adoption of food-fodder based
Climate resilient agriculture for risk mitigation
